When I'm not plotting my next book, I watch movies and television programs, both new and old, on Acorn TV, Amazon, BritBox, Hulu, and Netflix. Afterward, I write reviews and scatter popcorn kernels. Whatever floats your remote is fine with me.
This is a cleverly done, well acted, nicely filmed spoof of these kinds of period piece stories. It is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as Jane Austen often was, making gentle fun of the “drama” and moral standards ( and sometimes lack of them) of the members of higher society in that era. Really a fun film to watch, on many levels. Kate Beckinsale especially shines in her role.
